P E S A W A T K U

Alkisah menghitung hari
Di taman kanak-kanak
Kelinci putih hendak berlari
Menyeret layang-layang hijaunya
ditimpa angin yang sedikit lebih berisik
Ia bergegas, berlarian tanpa henti
Menerobos ranting yang patah 
Daun yang menguning
Embun yang berseliweran, membikin kabut
Ia menyebutnya awal mula kehidupan
Sebab ketika matahari yang belum juga panas muncul
mencium keningnya dan berucap: Pergilah!
Tak ada yang menantikanmu pulang
Kecuali keberangkatan

Lalu diterbangkannya layang-layang itu
Dibiarkannya meninggi
Bumi nampak semakin jauh 
Seekor kelinci pun sendiri
Namun ia teringat selembar kertas origami
Terkapar di atas bangku
Sisa kemarin, atau beberapa hari yang lalu

Dan ranting patah yang terbentur ke tanah
Daun yang mulai gompel dan koyak
Begitu pun embun perlahan menipis
Diambilnya semua
Dibungkuskan ke selembar kertas
Begitu pun mimpi-mimpinya
Tak satu pun tersisa

Kelinci putih pun melipat tubuh kertas 
Satu persatu makin rapat, meruncing, dan seimbang
Dalam hitungan ke tiga, dibuangnya pesawat kertas itu
Membawa jiwanya, mengembara

Puisi Terjemahan William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Hari ini, saya mencoba lagi menerjemahkan sebuah sajak berjudul I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud yang ditulis oleh William Wordsworth. Selamat membaca kawan! Semoga apa yang kita baca hari ini, membuat kita merasa penuh dan bahagia.  *** Umpama Segumpal Awan Aku Berkelana Aku berkelana umpama segumpal awan Yang melayang di ketinggian melampaui lembah dan bukit, Ketika tak sengaja kudapati sejauh mata memandang, Sehamparan bunga-bunga daffodil; Di dekat danau, di bawah rimbun pepohonan, Bunga-bunga daffodil melambai dan menari dikibaskan angin. Tak henti-hentinya laksana bintang-gemintang yang berkilatan Dan mengerjap di keluasan bima sakti, Bintang-gemintang itu, meregang dalam lintasan tanpa batas Di sepanjang tepian danau yang luas: Sekilas kusaksikan berpuluh ribu, Bunga-bunga daffodil saling beradu lewat tarian yang begitu lincah. Ombak di sebelahnya menggulung dan pecah; namun bunga-bunga daffodil Menghempaskan kilauan ombak itu dalam sukacita: Seorang penyair menjumpai dirinya te...

Let's Take Care of Ourselves

I found out I enjoy munching sweet snacks. I wasn't a big fan of it, but lately each time I tasted cookies, banana fritters, or other Indonesia sweet snacks, mouthwatering was the first impression my brain translated. Until I tried to neutralize one with sugar free tea, it helped me not to feel guilty a lot. It was a bit uneasy to control the intake since the works sometimes overwhelmed me. My number one assignment now is not to avoid the stress, but to regulate the stress. It's been a long time I didn't have respiratory system problems since the COVID era, now it seemed to keep coming regularly especially when I ate spicy food. It would provoke the shortness of breath and sore throat that led to asthma. Even when I had to rest at night, I didn't sleep tight. I tried to consume more of protein from red meat in particular, it still seemed hard to maintain the health nowadays. Only Allah would take care of me after I attempted my utmost to take a good care of myself. Insy...
